Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute n with 6 because n=6

2. Then you simply solve both sides so (6-6)-(5-6) because n=6

3.so then you get the absolute value of 0 subtracted by the absolute values of -1

4. So because all absolute values change it to positive you get 0-1 instead of 0- - 1

5. So the final answer is -1

Sorry if this was confusing, I’m really bad at explaining. :)

A soft drink machine outputs a mean of 24 ounces per cup. The machine's output is normally distributed with a standard deviation

Arisa [49]

Answer:

$P(21$

And we can find the probability with this difference

$P(-1$

And using the normal standard distribution or excel we got:

$P(-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the soft drink machine outputs of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(24,3)$

Where $\mu=24$ and $\sigma=3$

We want to find this probability:

$P(21$

The z score is given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Using this formula we got:

$P(21$

And we can find the probability with this difference

$P(-1$

And using the normal standard distribution or excel we got:

$P(-1$

Use U-Substitution to solve the following polynomial. 4x4 + 2x2 – 12 = 0

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Solution We substitute the value 3 for x in the equation and see if the left-hand member equals the right-hand member. 4(3) - 2 = 3(3) + 1. 12 - 2 = 9 + 1.
